Number of employees: 1 (including the owner)

Owner’s name: Kathleen Whiting, owner/baker

Years in business: 1 month in Panama City Beach but 12 years experience in home cake business while living overseas with my active duty military husband.

How did you get into this business? I took a cake decorating class about 13 years ago while stationed in Japan, and I not only loved it but found that it was my hidden talent. My business grew from there and kept me very busy. When we moved to Panama City Beach, I decided to start my business here to provide specialty cakes while doing what I love to do!

What do you like most about your business? I love that it allows me to express myself creatively while providing a specialty service to others.
